Popis: In the 1980s and 1990s Microsurgery has had a great diffusion in Italy. Our group, who worked in University of Catania, Sicily, got in touch with Sun Lee, the father of Experimental Microsurgery, and applied actively the microsurgical techniques both in the experimental and clinical field.Several Courses have been organized in Catania to involve young doctors who have been charmed by this new surgical branch.It is our opinion that in the present time Microsurgery could play an important role in the training of the general surgery residents. An experimental microsurgical training, together with simulators, could guarantee a more complete training of the residents, helping them to be familiar with surgical instruments and suture materials, improving their skill in performing microvascular anastomoses (carotid and femoral arteries) and more complex surgical operations (portocaval shunt) and leading them to a valid research activity.
